Could Be Better

For a single wall tent, there should have been a little more consideration for venting. Condensation is ROUGH in this tent. I've used it for three hunting seasons hoping to figure out a way around the condensation, and it's just unavoidable. Every morning I wake up in it, my the foot of my sleeping bag is drenched. This is due to it not being a true 3-man tent and, again, the venting. Two people in this thing isn't ideal. Attaching the vestibule is kind of a pain. If you're looking into a tent, I would recommend Stone Glacier and avoid the Hilight.

Powerful Fortress

Forget how beautiful and visable the color is against fresh white snow! This tent can handle 2.5 ft of heavy wet snow loading, as I discovered LAST winter in the Catskill Mountains, NY. Now I have 100% complete confidence that it can handle 40-50 mph winds, that is wind, NOT gusts, as well. For myself solo, the 3P with vestibule is my Kingdom. Sharing the tent with friend was acceptable. Not too cramped and we were able to melt snow, cook, eat, lay down, sit up, lounge, stretch, sleep, hang out, change clothing and not bump heads. Plenty of space. The vestibule, I feel is mandatory in bad weather.. Definitely with 2 people in there and if you plan on being mostly tent bound. The entry doors/bay windows are fantastic for views and ventilation, let a!one entering and exiting. My only 2 grips are small, tight toggles and latches for the doors! Very hard to do in freezing weather, bare handed.. With gloves even harder, but this is something I can probably modify myself, or not, because its not that bad, just could be better. The 2nd gripe is the storm flap on the vestibule door can snag easy if you not careful. And in bad weather sometimes you may want to close it up quickly... So be careful. But that's the vestibule and this is review of tent.. So disregard. I wish I could post pictures of it in action. I also love the blue on the inside!! Its cheery and inspiring even on the dark gloomy days..stimulate the mind a bit!! This tent is almost the unicorn! Search it on you tube!

Amazingly Versatile

this is a great tent for the features. vented enough for summer, waterproof especially with the vestibule on, and long enough for 6+ footers. truly 4 season. only concern is durability...

Great For Heavy Wet Snow Loads

Finally got to test the Hilight 3P tent with Vestibule in the Catskill Mountains, NY with some snow! Forcast called for 1-2 feet of snow fall.. Mother Nature had other plans for us those 2 days. Upon arrival there was already about a foot and half snow on the ground. When the storm hit, we got approximately another 2 - 3 feet of heavy wet snow.. and counting!! The Hilight held its own and without a glitch. I was safe and dry and comfortable inside while the storm dumped massive amounts of snow through the night. After this trip, I can safely say the Hilight 3p tent with Vestibule can handle heavy wet snow loads without question. For 1 person, this tent is a palace to live in while riding out a storm. You can easily get 2 people in there if needed and 3 would be squeezing, but in emergency situation, it can be done. I prefer the 3P over the 2P for numerous reasons, 1 obviously the extra room for extended time in there, and 2, both massive side door entries!! Just WOW! You can get silly views, plenty of venting, and escape door if snow burries your Vestibule.. just so many benefits over the 2p for minimal weight penalty.

Awkward To Pinch

I have used it for two years now. I use it when paddling and often camp on rocky islets. When it's up it's ok but the pinching, I find awkward att best. No setup on Youtube shows you the full set up. The poles constantly shift or snags the inside during set up. The welcro tabs is to smal and fiddly for handling with cold hands. I have had the poles missing the grommets and punching a couple of holes in the floor. It's a little easier when ground pegs can be used. I would like a instructional video on the set up, not using pegs. Se the MSR Advance Pro for a dirt simple set up in comparison. On the plus side of things: I like the idea of the self supporting tent. I like the two doors on the sides, it makes living more comfy. The single wall construction works ok when there is no vestibule and ground condensation is kept on the outside. I wouldn't use this tent in a week long trip in a wet place or on an expidition. For weekend trips in nice weather there are others that are lighter, simpler to pinch and cheaper.
